The Markets
Stocks rose in the Thursday session as the normal summer rally period that spans from the end of June through the middle of July gets underway. The S&P 500 Index added just less than half of one percent, remaining supported around the rising 20-day moving average at 4340. Momentum indicators are sitting comfortably above their middle lines and are showing progress curling higher again following the alleviation of overbought conditions during the end-of quarter mean reversion period that came to an end on Monday. Between now and the 17th of July, on average, stocks are typically higher in what is one of the stronger timeframes for the year for the equity market. But, barring new life granted to the market from this upcoming earnings season, this strength typically gives way to volatility that spans the remainder of the third quarter, resulting in the weakest and riskiest time of the year to be invested in stocks. We break down everything that you need to know in our just released monthly report for July. Look for this report in your inbox or via the archive at https://charts.equityclock.com/.
